Product Description
CASIN is a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of Cdc42 GTPase, a small GTPase of the Rho-subfamily that plays important roles in cytoskeleton organization, cell cycle progression, signal transduction, and vesicle trafficking. The rejuvenated phenotype of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) was produced by CASIN, which in vivo reversed the polarity and aging-related phenotype of aged HSCs to that of young HSCs.
CASIN (CAS 425399-05-9) is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of the GTPase Cdc42 (cell division control protein 42 homolog). Cdc42 is a member of the Rho family of GTPases that plays crucial roles in cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle progression, and cell migration.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GTPase Cdc42 (IC50 = 2 μM)
CASIN directly inhibits the activation of Cdc42 by binding to the Cdc42/RhoGDI complex, with an IC50 of 2 µM. By inhibiting Cdc42, it modulates cell signaling, cytoskeletal dynamics, and cell migration.
ln Vitro
CASIN (0-10 μM; 3 d) suppresses the growth of RPMI-8226/S, AMO-1, ARH-77, IM-9, JJN-3, L-363, and MOLP-8 cells[1].
CASIN (0-10 μM; 16 h) suppresses FANCD2 mono-ubiquitination induced by melphalan in LR5 cells but has no effect on S cells[1].
CASIN (5 μM; 2 d) promotes cell apoptosis in bortezomib-resistant MM patient cells[1].
In vitro, treatment with CASIN (5 µM) reduces the elevated level of active Cdc42 observed in aged primitive hematopoietic cells to the level observed in young cells. It effectively inhibits Cdc42 activity in various cell types.
ln Vivo
CASIN (20 mg/kg; i.p. 2 times a day) extends the life of mice with busulfan injection[1].
In vivo, CASIN reverses the aging-related and polarity phenotype of aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to that of young HSCs. It functionally rejuvenates aged HSCs, increasing the percentage of polarized cells and restoring histone modifications.
Enzyme Assay
Cell Line: AMO-1, ARH-77, IM-9 , JJN-3, L-363, MOLP-8 and RPMI-8226/S cells
Concentration: 0-10 μM
Incubation Time: 3 days
Result: Inhibited MM cell lines including AMO-1, ARH-77, IM-9 , JJN-3, L-363, MOLP-8 and RPMI-8226/S cells with GI50s vof 3.23, 4.31, 4.87, 2.56, 4.64, 4.67 and 3.97 μM, respectively.
In vitro enzyme assays measure the direct inhibition of Cdc42 GTPase activity by CASIN. This is typically done using a GTPase activity assay, where the hydrolysis of GTP by Cdc42 is measured in the presence of the inhibitor.
Cell Assay
CASIN (containing 0.02-0.2% DMSO) was used at 5 μM in the culture medium for in vitro investigations.
In vitro cell-based assays involve treating cells, such as aged HSCs or intestinal epithelial cells, with CASIN. The effect on Cdc42 activity is assessed by measuring the levels of active Cdc42 (e.g., via a pull-down assay). The impact on cell polarity, cytoskeleton organization, and phenotype is also evaluated.
Animal Protocol
NSG mice with busulfan injection[3]
20 mg/kg
Intraperitoneal injection; 20 mg/kg 2 times a day
In vivo studies are performed in mouse models, particularly to study the effects on hematopoiesis. CASIN is administered to aged mice, and the function of HSCs is assessed by transplantation assays. The compound's ability to rejuvenate aged HSCs and improve their long-term repopulating capacity is measured.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of CASIN are not detailed in the literature. As a small molecule with activity in vivo via systemic administration, it is likely to have adequate bioavailability. It is soluble in DMSO and ethanol.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for CASIN is not available. As a research compound, it is not intended for human use. Its effects on Cdc42, a critical regulator of many cellular processes, could have significant consequences, so its use is limited to research settings.
